FILTER RESULTS ►Galaxy goes green in burning stellar fuel
Astronomers have spotted the "greenest" of galaxies, one that converts fuel into stars with almost 100-percent efficiency. The findings come from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer in the French Alps.
Wired Space Photo of the Day: Running Chicken Nebula in Infrared
This infrared image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows the Lambda Centauri nebula, a star-forming cloud in our Milky Way galaxy, also known as the Running Chicken nebula. The nebula, cataloged as IC 2944, is about 5,800...
Closest Star System Found in a Century --Now Receiving TV Transmissions from 2006
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has discovered a pair of stars that has taken over the title for the third-closest star system to the sun. The duo is the closest star system discovered since 1916. Both stars in the...
WISE space telescope feels the heat from Orion's sword
The tangle of clouds and stars that lie in Orion's sword is showcased in a new, expansive view from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE.
Hubble Releases Cheery Holiday Snapshot Of ‘Christmas Ornament’ Nebula
It's the time of year when even the normally staid scientists at NASA get into the holiday spirit. Last year, the space agency's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer imaged a cosmic christmas wreath for the holiday season. Not be outdone,...Show More Summary
Jupiter's Trojan asteroids show their true colors
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, WISE, has uncovered new clues about the Jovian Trojans - asteroids that orbit the sun on the same path as Jupiter in two 'packs'. read more
NASA's WISE colors in unknowns on Jupiter asteroids
Scientists using data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, have uncovered new clues in the ongoing mystery of the Jovian Trojans -- asteroids that orbit the sun on the same path as Jupiter. Like racehorses, the asteroids travel in packs, with one group leading the way in front of the gas giant, and a second group trailing behind. Show More Summary
Image of the Day: "The Pale Green Dot" --The Coldest Star in the Universe
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, uncovered the coldest brown dwarf known so far (green dot in very center of this infrared image). Called WISE 1828+2650, located in the constellation Lyra, this chilly star-like body isn't even as warm...
NASA’s WISE Survey Finds Millions Of Black Holes
Millions of black holes have now been discovered thanks to NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The WISE mission has led to the discovery of “newfound supermassive black holes and extreme galaxies called hot DOGs, or dust-obscured galaxies.” Images taken by the telescope have uncovered “millions of dusty black hole candidates across the universe and [...]
NASA discovers millions of supermassive black holes [Space]
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope surveyed the universe twice during its 14-month mission, generating a wealth of data in the process. Now, by sifting through that data, WISE astronomers have unveiled one of...Show More Summary
Supermassive black holes and hot galaxies in giant haul
A space telescope has added to its list of spectacular finds, spotting millions of supermassive black holes and blisteringly hot, "extreme" galaxies.The finds, by US space agency Nasa's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (Wise), once...Show More Summary
WISE spots millions of black holes
NASA's discovered several million new black holes - along with a thousand or so galaxies obscured by dust - using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope. read more
NASA WISE Mission Finds Millions of New Black Holes, 1,000 Superhot Galaxies For Good Measure
NASA was teasing some big news about black holes yesterday, and this afternoon, we know what that is. The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope has found millions of black holes dotting the universe, as well as more...Show More Summary
Bonanza of black holes, hot DOGs: NASA's WISE survey uncovers millions of black holes
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission has led to a bonanza of newfound supermassive black holes and extreme galaxies called hot DOGs, or dust-obscured galaxies. Images from the telescope have revealed millions ofShow More Summary
NASA is announcing new findings on black holes and extreme cosmic objects - here's how to listen in live [Space]
In 2009, NASA launched its Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope, an Earth-orbiting infrared observatory designed to map the entire sky in unprecedented detail. WISE surveyed the sky for less than two years, but in that...Show More Summary
Image of the Day: The Coldest Star in the Universe --Cooler than the Human Body
This past March, NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, uncovered the coldest brown dwarf known so far (green dot in very center of this infrared image). Called WISE 1828+2650, located in the constellation Lyra, this chilly star-like body isn't...
The 'Flame' burns bright in new WISE image
A new image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows the candle-like Flame nebula lighting up a cavern of dust. The Flame nebula is part of the Orion complex, a turbulent star-forming area located near the constellation's star-studded belt.
NASA Report: 4,700 Asteroids Currently Threaten Earth
A study by NASA using their Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has led to a new assessment in the number of asteroids that are potentially hazardous to Earth. The results also revealed new information about their origins, and how many asteroids are around Earth. The PHAs (potentially hazardous asteroids, are a part of a larger group [...]Show More Summary
NASA tots up hazardous asteroids
Observations from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) indicate there are about twice as many potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) in lower-inclination orbits than previously believed. read more
NASA survey counts potentially hazardous asteroids
Observations from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) have led to the best assessment yet of our solar system's population of potentially hazardous asteroids. The results reveal new information about their total numbers, origins and the possible dangers they may pose.
